Lots going on these days. Busy with life and Christmas prep. I will spare you all the details unless you are dying to know.

Read this quote at the gym the other day:

"If you are going to be successful in life you can't be afraid to fail" (well something like that).

Sometimes we miss out on some of the greatest experiences in life because we are afraid of failing.

The kids are home for another 4 day weekend. Today we are planning and preparing for Julia's birthday party tomorrow. Maybe put up Christmas trees, swimming lessons later.

Tomorrow we take a 30 min. trip to the airport to visit my dad and his wife who are passing through. Come back home grab a quick bite then head out to ballet and then party-hardy! Supposed to go to a dinner in the evening and Joels hockey team is having their big fundraising dance later that night. We are lacking babysitters so will opt out of the evening activities.

For the record, my muscles are screaming and complaining everytime I sit or stand (not used to all this exercise, lol).
